This is a Christian polemic written in criticism of the evangelical movement in regard to issues of race and "racial reconciliation." DeCaro argues that the evangelical movement in the United States is too steeped in white privilege to provide a genuine context for "racial reconciliation." In fact, in light of history, white evangelicals have consistently postured themselves in a manner that is either indifferent or even hostile to the black struggle for justice. DeCaro contends that just as evangelicalism has been defined according to Bebbington's well known evangelical quadrilateral, it may also be defined by a "hidden" evangelical quadrilateral that reflects the movement's racist orientation. Since every effort to attain "racial reconciliation" by evangelicals has failed, including the Promise Keepers movement of the late 20th century, a new approach is required for white evangelicals who wish to enjoy true racial unity: racial rapprochement first, then biblical reconciliation. DeCaro concludes, however, that this will require a radical change within white evangelicalism and that otherwise this movement should not presume to keep the support of African Americans going forward.
